As Tottenham Hotspur head to Burnley for their Premier League fixture tomorrow, their chances at a top four finish still exist, but given all their injuries, who knows how long they’ll stay in the race. Let’s take a look at the team news for both sides as Spurs visit the Clarets on Saturday.
Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is a doubt, due to a groin injury while Harry Kane (hamstring), Moussa Sissoko (knee) and Son (arm) are all out until late April, at earliest. It also remains to be seen what may come of Eric Dier, if he will be reprimanded for leaving the pitch to angrily confront a hostile fan in the crowd.
Flipping over to the hosts, they have three injury absentees for this fixture: Ashley Barnes (groin), Johann Berg Gudmundsson (hamstring,) and Matthew Lowton (knee).
